Aliyah

Having carried their first child to term, Kayla and Chris Schultz weren't concerned about premature birth when they found out they were expecting their second child, Aliyah. However at 30 weeks, problems with the placenta developed. When those worsened and with the baby at risk, Kayla had an emergency c-section at 34 weeks and daughter Aliyah was born weighing 5 pounds, 1 ounce. After two weeks in the NICU, Aliyah was finally able to join her family at home. Today, she is almost 3 years old and loves to laugh, play with her brother and her baby dolls, dance, and her stuffed animal called Puppy. She's a very caring girl, quick to console others, and has an amazing personality that will brighten up anyone's day.
